Why Fluid Pilates Bootcamp?

A Brief History

Pilates is the brainchild of Joseph Pilates, who as a child, suffered from chronic physical afflictions including rickets and rheumatic fever. His determination to overcome the dire predictions from medics led him to building his body into the peak of physical fitness through a combination of yoga, martial arts, boxing and weightlifting.

After moving to England during the First World War, he worked in an infirmary caring for those injured in the war and he assisted them in recovering from injury and avoiding the flu epidemic. He rigged the hospital beds with springs and straps and created resistance-based exercises to improve muscular strength, endurance and flexibility. The results were profound.

Pilates post-war moved into the world of ballet where he adapted his techniques to assist in dancing-related injury recovery, focusing on posture, suppleness and muscular power.

It is now a globally recognised form of exercise that co-ordinates the body and mind.

Reformer Pilates

The reformer Pilates machine is essentially a modern take on the resistance-based beds of Joseph Pilates, that allow for a safe and effective method of stretching, lengthening and toning the core and body.

Breathing techniques combined with a ‘neutral’ fixed spine and pelvic position mean the core is strengthened whilst other areas of the body are worked against the resistance.
